[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 171106, member: 2610"] Well he is making the same mistake as you are, with one difference. The state Guruka Singh ji describes is "a state which comes as a result of meditating on Naam". It may arise in other ways but since he is preaching this particular technique which involves meditating on Naam, he shortens it to state of Naam. What it actually is, is the state of [I]Sehaj[/I] or [I]Anand, etc[/I]. [I]"I am in Sehaj." "I am in Anand." Surat [/I]is another. "I have achieved [I]Surat[/I]". It's a state of peace. You wouldn't say "I am in the state of faith". You say "I have faith" or "The state I am in is where one is full of faith". Same sort of thing with Naam. Hukam is that which occurs and the way you respond to it because God has commanded that it will occur and that you will respond to it a particular way. The former is atheistic, the latter is theistic. Harry ji, I have had the same experience. So I was careful to use it where I meant it. You answers raise more questions so I will ask until one of us is exhausted lol. I hope you play along. If you haven't done it, try it out and then answer. I actually want you to experiment a bit and explore different areas. I am interested in knowing your experience as I don't have such experiences when I meditate. Humans can feel several emotions at once and they sometimes become tangled. What feelings are present in your agitation? What about with eyes open? How is it like with eyes open? Have you ever stopped in space, in the darkness and emptiness? How's that like? What emotions do they convey? No more questions here. Ok but what sensations arise in the body? where do they arise? the skin? the gut? some other organ... Is Harry free outside of meditation? Yeah who would have thought that if you simply give things away you'll be happy? You don't need the next gen Ipad, Blackberry, or whatever it is. The consumer culture creates a lot of suffering. BTW what you are describing is ਦਾਨ - charity, not [FONT=AnmolUniPr][SIZE=1][COLOR=BLACK][COLOR=#AB5555][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]ਸੇਵਾ[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#AB5555] -[/COLOR][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] service/labour. There's a bit of a difference there. There is no other here, it's only you. If you find that you are agitated when you respond, look into it, and if it's there, stop and step away. Only respond when you are at peace or if you develop a peaceful mind from the conversation. Both of you count as the world. If you really want to spend time together, what's REALLY stopping you?
